3 Approaches To Know You've Picked The Right Lawyer It's pretty intimidating to undergo a legal court system, specifically if you lack confidence in your legal team. Allow me to share three important approaches to understand that you've hired the proper lawyer: 1. They Focus On Your Form Of Case Legislation is often tricky and that requires specialists to tackle the tough cases. When you really need a lawyer, look for one that relates to the matter you're facing. Regardless of whether a member of family or friend recommends you employ a strong they are aware, once they don't have got a focus that's much like your case, keep looking. As soon as your attorney is undoubtedly an expert, especially in the trouble you're facing, you understand you've hired the right one. 2. The Lawyer Features A Winning Record Depending on the circumstances, it can be difficult to win an instance, specifically if the team helping you has virtually no experience. Try to find practices that have won numerous cases that apply to yours. Even though this is no guarantee that you case will be won, it provides you with a far greater shot. 3. They Listen And Respond When the attorney you've chosen takes the time to listen to your concerns and respond to your inquiries, you've probably hired the correct one.

From the point of view of an ordinary citizen who isn't informed about the judicial system, court cases may be pretty scary you need updates as well as to seem like you're portion of the solution. Some attorneys are simply considerably better to you and the case than the others. Make certain you've hired the most suitable team for the circumstances, to ensure that you can placed the matter behind you immediately. Faith inside your legal representative is step one to winning any case.

What Happened To Judge Mablean Ephiam Of Divorce Court?
I Have Been A Fan Of This Show For A Few Years And Judge Mablean Kick *** Good! So What Happened To Her?? Did She Retire Or Something? I Went To Watch It The Other Day And There Was A New Judge. What Gives?

Canned 'Divorce Court' Judge Cries Racism
Mablean says her hair may have done her in
By TMZ.COM STAFF
(April 7) -- Mablean Ephriam, who until recently presided over the syndicated television show 'Divorce Court," says that she was given her walking papers from the show, in part because FOX would not cut her slack when it came to styling her hair. "...When will FOX and the rest of America accept our cultural differences as African Americans and embrace us with all of our different hairstyles, hair textures, hair color..." she said in a "press conference statement."

FOX gave Mablean the boot after seven years because they say Mablean was asking for a lot more money than the network was willing to shell out. TMZ is told two million a year was not enough for Mablean, so FOX said farewell.

Mablean's statement veers away from salary and onto hairier issues. She says "the most unacceptable demand to me was when FOX said, 'There will be no changes in the current hairstyle to avoid time consuming issues regarding her hair." She believes FOX's position could violate Federal law, calling it "a racial and ethnic issue."

Mablean adds that she wore a wig last season after losing a substantial amount of hair because of a chemical process gone bad. She feels that FOX wanted her to continue wearing a wig to save time in taping the show.

The former TV judge said there was another issue -- she did not want to tape as many as eight cases a day because "divorce is a very emotional issue." She was also upset that FOX would no longer pay for the show's holiday luncheon .

Finally, Mablean suggests FOX went after her personal assistant Princess and her daughter Darlene Allen (who ran the wardrobe department) by also firing them.

Mablean is being replaced by Lynn Toler, an ex-Ohio judge. Toler is also African American.

'Divorce Court' is produced by Twentieth Television, a division of FOX Entertainment Group. TMZ is awaiting an official response from Twentieth.

What Exactly Is A Trial Lawyer?
I'M Gonna Be Plain And Simple. I'M 15 Years Old And When I'M Older I Want To Put Bad Guys Away As A Lawyer. I Wanna Make My City A Better Place. It'S Turned To Crap. Lawyers Are Corrupt And So Are The Courts. However I Need To Also Make A Nice Living. What'S A Prosecuting Lawyer Vs A Trial Lawyer? And Yes I Am Well Aware Being A Lawyer Isint As Glamorous As Hollywood Makes It Seem.

Unless you live in an extremely bad city like Chicago, Detroit, or New York, the lawyers and judges in your city are going to be among the most reliable people you could meet. When we're hired, we are required by law to represent our clients to the best of our ability. Sometimes that means taking positions on our clients' behalf that seem unsavory, but that does not mean we are corrupt. There are always bad lawyers and bad judges, but generally we care very, very much about upholding the law and making sure the system works the way it's supposed to. We care about our profession and members who make us look bad are dealt with.

"Trial lawyers" are basically the people who are extremely experienced at going into court and deal with that side of things as opposed to writing briefs, dealing with pre-trial matters, or working on transactional stuff like contracts. If you're good, you can live very comfortably.

A prosecutor is a lawyer who works for the state in criminal prosecutions. You do spend plenty of time in a courtroom, but you also are responsible for pre-trial issues like admissibility of evidence. Prosecutors, being state employees, are paid very poorly.

Malpractice Lawyer Lied To Me?
Let Me Get Something Cleared Up Because My Daughter Is Asking A Question But Not Posting All The Info. I Did A Malpractice Lawsuit Against A City Hospitol Because My Child Almost Died Because Of A Doctors Mistake. She Was On A Vent For A Month,Dialysis Because Her Kidneys Failed,Blood Transfussions,Huge Blood Clots And Her Appendices Were Removed For No Reason And Many More. This Case Has Been Going On For 14 Years. On March Of This Year The Lawyer Called Me And Told Me That They Settled For 420,000.00. At The Time Of The Phone Call I Had 2 Witness That Were Listening On The Phone Call Because I Had Her On The Speaker. Ever Since March I Asked Her To Give Me The County Papers So I Can See And Read What Was Discussed During That Meeting She Had With The Hospitol Lawyers And The The Judge She Continues To Tell Me That There Is No Need For That. Ok I Let Go For Now But On August We Called Her Again And She Asked To Speak To My Daughter But I Had To Be Present Because She Was Still A Minor. Now During This Convo She Again Said My Daughter Would Be Getting 420,000.00 And My Daughter And I Asked Her Again For The Court Papers And Who Was Getting What Out The 420,000.00 And She Still Refused To Answer But We Asked Her Again For The Amount And Once Again She Said 420,000.00. I Didn'T Follow Up Because She Been Our Laywer For A While And I Trusted Her But Yesterday I Received The Power Of Attorney Pappers So She Can Have Power Of Attorney Over The Check So She Can Deduct Her 33 Percent And On The Paper She Gave Me And They Were Not The County Court Papers Just A Paper She Typed Up Said 125,000.00. We Have Never Discussed An Amount Of 125,000.00 And I Don'T Even Know Where That Amount Came From. My Child Still Needs Surgery Due To The Demages They Did To Her. After The Convo With The Lawyer She Came Out And Said That She Should With Draw From Being My Lawyer. How Can A Lawyer Decided Not To Continue Being My Lawyer Because I Asked Her For The County Papers And I Told Her That She Lied To Me And My Child. If She Had Said 125,000.00 From The Begining I Would Never Settle For That Amount After 14 Years. I Would Prefer To Go To Trial...........Let Me Not Forget That I Asked Her To Be Present During The Meetings And She Never Told Me She Was Going To Meet With Them In The First Place. Does Anybody Have Any Suggestions Of What Should I Do?

There are no county papers, the case was settled out of court between the parties and you should be able to see a copy of the settlement agreement that the hospital and Dr.s or who ever you sued signed but there are no "county papers" from the court. It would have been state court anyway. Your lawyer can fire you at any time as a client and to have only gotten $125k for 14 years of work is pitiful. So is the fact that they only settled 400k on your daughter. I hope they also paid all the back hospital bills and will be paying for the continuing medical costs your daughter will no doubt have for the rest of her life.

Legal Defense Laws In Nys ?
I Want To Know If I Get Into A Fight, But I Didn'T Start The Fist First, But I Injured The Guy Pretty Bad.
Would I Get Into Law Troubles ?
I'M Not Over 18.
What Is Legal Defense Then ? Please Explain.

There's a fine line between fighting and self-defense. You have the right to use necessary force to stop the fight but if you intend to fight him you will be charged with assault.

There is no legal defense to a fight. As I already stated you can use necessary force to stop the fight. This would mean you can push them or possibly punch them or walk away, but you can't instigate the fight and you can't continue to fight.

Do Grandparents Have Custody Rights In Nevada?
Do Grandparents Have Custody Rights In Nevada?

"anyone can petition for custody"
False. ONLY PERSONS WITH LEGAL STANDING can even file for custody. Standing means, a person who has rights to file in certain situations.
Grandparents do not have an inherent rights to either custody OR visitation. Many states passed 'grandparent rights' laws years ago, most of those being voided by Troxel vs Granville (US Supreme court). That ruling said that parents have custody rights (which include decisions about who the child sees) AS LONG AS THEY were "Fit" parents. The exceptions to this.. obviously would be when the parent is found UNFIT in some way. (obviously, the finding of "unfit" would be based on the state's standards)
In cases where the state (like cps) has removed a child from the home, they normally consider family first for placement... remember, placement is not always CUSTODY.

Purpose For Legal Separation?
If A Person Has A Legal Separation Can They Have A Sexual Relationship With Another Person Without Being Charged With Adultrey? We Live In South Carolina.

Legal separation is an alternative to divorce for people who can’t continue to live together but does not put an end the marriage. A couple is legally separated after petitioning the court to recognize their separation. Simply living apart does not constitute a legal separation.

A separation agreement is a legal document signed by both spouses, which details such issues as child support, spousal support and living arrangements. In some states, legal advice is required to make a separation agreement legally binding. You remain legally married while choosing to live separate lives. You no longer live together and the only obligations that you are bound to are those that have been requested, discussed and granted in court during the time of the legal proceedings.
